If cleanliness is next to godliness, Michael Chong is all-powerful — at least in Guatemala.
The Conservative MP and leadership contender has become the poster boy for spotless public washrooms in the Central American country.
His larger-than-life, smiling visage has been spotted gracing a large poster outside a Guatemalan washroom.
The poster announces a "special service" for men: sanitary and hygienic bathroom facilities.

The poster was spied by a visiting Canadian, Bailey Greenspon, who tweeted a photo that's provoking hilarity on Parliament Hill.
Chisholm Pothier, communications director for Chong's leadership campaign, says in a tweet that even Guatemalans think Chong is special; "you can too Canada."
Chong responded by retweeting the image with a caption of his own:
